The Wizard God Emperor had an extraordinary temperament. He was like a black hole that could suck all light and heat and no one could see through him.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his sleeve, two pieces of saint fruit flew out, hovering before Zhang Ruochen.
“Lord Lin, these two fruits are from that palace. I’ve already checked. You can gain close to 10,000 Rules of Saintly Way after eating them.”
The Wizard God Emperor smiled. He didn’t ask Zhang Ruochen to trade with medicine or fruit.
He’d been watching Zhang Ruochen for a long while. He saw that Zhang Ruochen had traded many fruit and medicines that could improve cultivation. He probably didn’t have any other treasures to trade.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the fruit. He was naturally interested.
However, why would a strong figure like the Wizard God Emperor use two pieces of fruit to meet with a nameless figure like him?
Ten thousand Rules of Saintly Way was incredible for a lower Saint King. But to those who’d cultivated tens of thousands or millions of rules already, it wasn’t much.
What exactly did the Wizard God Emperor want?
He could see that Zhang Ruochen wanted the two fruit but stopped himself from taking them, so he said, “Lord Lin, if you are interested in the fruit, be my guest. No need to trade with equal-value treasures. Just treat it as us becoming friends.”
Zhang Ruochen knew that if he took it, he would be at a disadvantage, so he quickly shook his head. “How can I do that? Since it’s a trade, it must be fair.”
Does this man still have other treasures for improving cultivation? The Wizard God Emperor was surprised.
Zhang Ruochen took out an Amazing Saint Fruit and handed it to him.
The alluring woman took it for the Wizard God Emperor. After taking the Amazing Saint Fruit, she checked it with Spiritual Power. Shock appeared in her almond eyes.
She spoke to the Wizard God Emperor with Spiritual Power.
The man’s eyes flashed. “Brother Lin, you are full of secrets and I am very impressed. But your fruit is more valuable than the two saint fruits. Won’t this trade be a loss for you?”
“We’re friends!”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and collected the two hovering pieces of fruit. He prepared to turn and leave.
“Lord Lin, wait.”
The Wizard God Emperor called to him and sent a Spiritual Power message. “Actually, we can do a bigger trade.”
“A bigger trade?” Zhang Ruochen paused.
The Wizard God Emperor indeed had another motive.
“The divine spring is very useful for me,” he said straightforwardly. “If you can help me, I’ll give you double what the Thousand Star Maiden promised you.”
“So it has to do with the divine spring.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to offend the Wizard God Emperor, so he smiled and said, “Didn’t you invite Monk Pushan? I don’t think I’m stronger than him in the Spatial Way. I probably can’t help much.”
“You are too humble. Your spatial grab is something that Pushan can’t do.”
He obviously couldn’t agree to the Wizard God Emperor’s proposition.
While Zhang Ruochen was thinking about how to reject him without offending him, Fairy Tianchu’s disciple, Li Miaohan, walked over.
Li Miaohan first bowed to the Wizard God Emperor before saying to Zhang Ruochen, “Lord Lin, my teacher also wishes to do business with you. She wishes to see you.”
Zhang Ruochen chuckled wryly inside. He knew that Fairy Tianchu must want him to help get the divine spring too.
He’d suddenly become a gem that everyone wanted.
This wasn’t a good thing. After all, he couldn’t anger any side.
Zhang Ruochen decided to use this chance to break free from the Wizard God Emperor first. “Your Majesty, I’ve always looked up to Fairy Tianchu. How about I go visit her before we discuss this matter?”
The Wizard God Emperor wasn’t angry at all. Smiling, he said, “Everyone loves a beauty. Go ahead! But don’t forget what I offered.”
Zhang Ruochen was about to visit Fairy Tianchu with Li Miaohan when a cold voice rang out. “Lin Yue, where are you going?”
The Thousand Star Maiden walked over. The thin blind man and big bearded man followed close behind.
Li Miaohan walked up and said, “Greetings, Your Highness. My teacher wishes to trade with Lord Lin for saint fruit and medicine, so she sent me to invite him.”
The Thousand Star Maiden stood primly with her perky breasts. She smiled. “Miaohan, why find him for fruit and medicine? Since Sister Luo Ji wants fruit and medicine for improving cultivation, she should trade with me. How can we let an outsider gain from this? Come, take me to see Brother Luo Ji.”
Then the Thousand Star Maiden glanced at the Wizard God Emperor. “Brother Shen, Lin Yue is mine. Don’t bully him!”
“How could I? I just traded for two pieces of saint fruit with Lord Lin,” the Wizard God Emperor said, expression unfaltering. “It’s pleasant business.”
The Thousand Star Maiden stopped smiling and said to Big Beard, “Bring Lin Yue back.”
The Thousand Star Maiden went to see Fairy Tianchu with Li Miaohan. Zhang Ruochen went back to the Starry Carriage with Big Beard.
This result made Zhang Ruochen feel much more relieved, but he also felt a bit of regret.
After all, Fairy Tianchu was a beauty who moved thousands of worlds. She was like a literal fairy. What kind of man wouldn’t want to see her up close?
After a while, the Thousand Star Maiden returned and stared deeply at Zhang Ruochen. “Get in.”
Under the envious eyes of countless people, the Thousand Star Maiden and Zhang Ruochen entered the carriage one after the other.
“He can be in the same car as the beautiful Thousand Star Maiden. What did Lin Yue do?” Some people grew furious as if their hearts had been eaten.
“He’s advanced in the Spatial Way. Didn’t you see how the Wizard God Emperor and Fairy Tianchu were fighting for him?”
“So jealous. If I knew this, I would’ve cultivated the Spatial Way too. My life would be complete if I get the attention of either the Thousand Star Maiden or Fairy Tianchu.”
…
Many cultivators were envious or jealous. Some even clenched their jaws. Their minds ran wild, thinking that something would definitely happen between Zhang Ruochen and Fairy Tianchu in the car.
Inside the Starry Carriage
The Thousand Star Maiden’s expression was serious and her eyes were cold. “What did the Wizard God Emperor offer?”
“This is my business. Why should I tell you?” Zhang Ruochen was annoyed at how authoritative the Thousand Star Maiden was acting. It was as if he really was hers.
“You have to understand something,” the Thousand Star Maiden said. “Only I know where Saint Monk Xumi died. They also don’t know you’re Zhang Ruochen or that you have Mysteries of Truth. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be as friendly as they are being now. You have to remember that here, you can only listen to me.”
“Are you threatening me?” Zhang Ruochen’s eyes darkened.
His temperament changed instantly. Rather than being gentle, he was now like a beast with sharp fangs.
The Thousand Star Maiden was intimidated by his eyes and her heart trembled.
Very few creatures in the same realm had been able to meet her gaze ever since she was a child. Zhang Ruochen’s eyes earlier froze her for a moment.
The proud Thousand Star Maiden couldn’t help but grow annoyed. Sticking her chest up, she said arrogantly, “So what if I threaten you? If you dare to not listen to me, your identity will immediately be… What are you doing?”
“Killing you.”
Zhang Ruochen used Spatial Twist, turning his hands into claws. Instantly, his fingers touched the Thousand Star Maiden’s snow-white neck.
Zhang Ruochen could work with her, but he definitely wouldn’t take her threats.
Rather than being restricted by her, he’d rather end the relationship completely.
Poof.
The Thousand Star Maiden’s pretty eyes glowed with divine light. Next, fluorescent divine patterns appeared on the skin near her neck.
The divine patterns were like jade petals. They lay under her skin, blocking Zhang Ruochen’s unexpected attack.
Next, with a boom, the Thousand Star Maiden’s delicate frame exploded into specks of light that filled the entire carriage.
A vast voice rang out. “I knew you wouldn’t submit. In this case, I’ll have to defeat you with my own hands until you’re willing to surrender at my feet.”
Every word came from a different direction. It gave off an unpredictable feeling.
Zhang Ruochen immediately released his vast Spiritual Power and space domain. Unexpectedly, he couldn’t detect the Thousand Star Maiden at all.
Could she have left the Starry Carriage again…?
Suddenly, he felt great danger. He quickly used the Spatial Move to disappear from the spot.
Whoosh!
Thousands upon thousands of starry specks formed a translucent sword where he’d just stood. It halved the shadow that he’d left behind.
One could imagine that if Zhang Ruochen had been slightly slower, he would’ve been seriously wounded.
The Thousand Star Maiden is still in the carriage, but why can’t my space domain detect her?
Staring at the dense specks of light in the carriage, Zhang Ruochen’s heart jumped. He thought of something.
Could she have transformed into specks of the origin?
If this was true, then it meant that the Thousand Star Maiden wasn’t advanced enough in the Way of the Origin.
True specks of the origin were practically invisible. A Spiritual Power Supreme Saint wouldn’t be able to detect it even with their Divine Eyes.
Zhang Ruochen chuckled. “If you don’t appear, I’ll send all of these starry lights into the void.”
The Thousand Star Maiden didn’t answer. Instead, the specks of light started spinning quickly. Another attack was brewing.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes gleamed. He opened his fingers to rip open a spatial crack and swallow the starry light.
Something unexpected happened…
The space in the carriage was extremely sturdy. He used all his spatial power, but there was no reaction.
“Do you really think my Starry Carriage is just a transportation tool? In here, I’m an undefeatable queen.”
Boom!
A ball of light transformed into a slender hand and hit Zhang Ruochen’s chest. He activated the Hundred Saint Blood Armor and blocked with his arms, but he was still sent flying. He crashed into the carriage wall.
His arms bled inside the armor.
One could imagine just how strong the Thousand Star Maiden’s attack had been. Not even a sixth step Saint King could be that strong, let alone a third step Saint King.
“Amazing, amazing.”
The Amazing Little Taoist’s voice rang out.
“Amazing your ass.” Zhang Ruochen was in a bad mood.
“No, Zhang Ruochen.” The Amazing Little Taoist quickly changed his tone. “I meant to say, do you need my help to suppress that girl?”
“No.”
Zhang Ruochen released blue Divine Fire Jingmie and wrapped it around his body. The fire spread forward to refine all the starry light.
Poof.
Formation runes appeared on the walls and ground. A dozen formations started running at the same time.
One of them was on the ground and released a large amount of Qi of Extreme Pluto Ice. It actually countered the Divine Fire Jingmie and flooded toward Zhang Ruochen.
“Zhang Ruochen, did you forget that I’m a Formation Saint Master?”
The Thousand Star Maiden’s voice rang out again. Nine lightning bolt-like chains flew out of the ball of starry light. They wrapped toward Zhang Ruochen from different directions.
Inside the carriage, the two fought viciously. The Starry Carriage kept shaking more and more intensely.
Blindman and Big Beard wanted to rush in, but they seemed to get a message from the Thousand Star Maiden, so they stopped and continued to guard the carriage.
“No way! This is a fatal place and they’re in the mood to do this? This is too much. Disgusting,” someone who admired the Thousand Star Maiden said through clenched teeth.
“Car sex?”
“Did you have to say that out loud?”
“No way! There are so many people here. How can the Thousand Star Maiden be so open… But it’s possible. After all, one man and one woman are in a car together and the car’s shaking so hard. It’s difficult to explain!”
“Some noble women are willing to do anything for the divine spring.”
…
Many people were guessing with negative intentions. Thinking of the sexual scenes inside the carriage, they either grew excited or furious. That Lin Yue was too lucky and enviable.
Fairy Tianchu, the Wizard God Emperor and others also frowned, wondering what Lin Yue and the Thousand Star Maiden were doing.
First, they decided that the two weren’t fighting.
If it was a fight, Big Beard and Blindman would’ve rushed in long ago. How could they stand so calmly outside?
Plus, Lin Yue was invited by the Thousand Star Maiden. It was impossible for them to fight.
Rustle, rustle.
The saint carriage shook even more powerfully without stopping.
This way, the Wizard God Emperor and other cultivators’ expressions grew even stranger.
